The Moreton Bay Fig Tree has pretty impressive Ariel roots and very popular to visitors on Aucklands North Shore. . . . #moretonbayfigtree #trees #treesofinstagram #newzealand #auckland #accessforall #accessibility #wheelchairtravel #grabyourwheels #travelwithoutlimits #travelforall #disability #ability #barrierfree #familytravel #finlay #devonport #powerchair #siblings #cerebralpalsy #inclusivetravel #inclusivecommunity #inclusion #inclusionmatters #para #travel #accessibletravelblog #accessibletravel #accessibletourism
Not our favourite ferry for access, that’s the Kea. But, we managed to get on this one without a problem. We also found we could access inside if we wanted. We prefer the Kea, as it’s bigger with a lot more room to move around in. . These boats leave from the downtown Ferry Terminal and serve as commuter services between North Shore, the City, Coromandel and the Islands off Auckland. . . . . #accessforall #accessibility #ferries #wheelchair #wheelchair #wheel #powerchair #accessibletravel #accessibletourism #accessibletrails #travelforall #barrierfree #barrierfreetravel #auckland #travelwithoutlimits #rampedaccess #citylife #grabyourwheels
Leaving Newmarket we took the train. We love the fact we don’t have to call an attendant to put a ramp down for us to get onto the train. Auckland does have limited station access but from Britomart to Newmarket we can happily say the wheelchair accessible carriage is barrier free as are the stations. . . . . Happy shopping at Newmarket as we can now use a loo with Auckland’s first Changing Place at the new Westfield Mall ♿️✅💪 . . . #grabyourwheels #finsz #accessforall #accessibility #accessibletrain @visitauckland @akltransport #accessible #wheelchair #wheelchairtravel #barrierfree #travelwithoutlimits #travel #accessiblewalks #powerchair #auckland #newzealand #changingplaces #accessibletoilet
Check out the new #changingplace @westfieldnewmarket it’s so awesome to finally have a place we can use in Auckland City. Fully accessible bathrooms have finally made it to Auckland. You can check out our latest review on our travel blog www.grabyourwheels.nz we are over the moon! . . . #accessforall #accessibility #changingplaces #changingplacesnz #travelforall #accessibletoilets #accessibletravel #wheelchair #powerchair #grabyourwheels #accessibleplaces #wheelchairlife #wheelchairlife #westfields #inclusivetravel #barrierfree #inclusion #inclusionmatters #benchandhoist #nomorefloor #aucklandcity #newzealand
ACCESSIBLE ACCOMMODATION . . Today, I started my scout for the best accessible rooms I could find in Central Auckland. The rooms need to be easy wheeling to the Britomart (central train station), Spark Arena (events centre), Main Ferry Terminal, Queen Street and The Viaduct (bars and restaurants galore). . THEY HAVE TO BE RIGHT IN AMONGST IT ALL . I decided to post a pic of this bathroom because of its impressive size ... spacious and big ♿️ . However, It was missing a seat or bench to sit on. The Duty Manager informed me that a (backless) shower stool was available on request. So I think for most of us that would mean BYO or hire one. . The room came with a great view, but it’s real selling feature was that much sort after interconnecting room. . Can’t wait to share the full review. . . #accessforall #accessibility #accessibleaccommodation #travelforall #aucklandcbd #accessiblebathroom #sparkarena #aucklandcentral #wheelchair #wheelchairtravel #grabyourwheels #wheelies #accessibletourism #travelwithoutlimits #newzealand
Well it’s certainly good to be back revisiting our old haunts again. Finlay’s leg is still pretty sore. Our outings are generally short and sweet so he can head home to rest his leg more. . . We bumped into all sorts of locals who hadn’t seen us around for a while. It was so nice to know we’d been missed. Barley was never too far away from Finlay’s side ... a true companion that dog 🐕 . . #rehab #lowbonedensity #musclespasms #familytravel #inclusion #travelwithoutlimits #auckland #skytower #travelforall #beingfree #wheelchair #wheelchairlife #cerebralpalsy #cp #newzealand #powerchairs #invacare #devonport #accessibletravel #accessiblewalks #parkbench
